Saturday brought a welcome change of pace. We decided to do a little exploring on foot.
 |
| Pekini Avenue is a busy main street in Saburtalo with shops, hotels, churches, parks, and traffic. |
 |
| We stopped at this little park along the way to enjoy the view, |
 |
| find refreshment, |
 |
| and indulge in some gummy candies. |
 |
| In covered pavilions men of all ages gather |
 |
| for an afternoon game of chess. |
 |
| Flowers are sold on the street, |
 |
| causing 7-year-old girls to wax theatrical. |
 |
| The boys stuck together |
 |
| for our afternoon walk. |
Looks like quite a bustling place with lots of pedestrian traffic. Seeing the Georgian alphabet on signs is still a shock. It will be interesting to see how much local language the kids pick up. Love, Love, Love the postings. It takes real courage to pull out a camera to record these things.
ReplyDeleteThe alphabet is still cryptic to me, I can only recognize 2 letters, I think. The girls hear mostly Georgian in primary, so we'll see. I do feel a little intimidated to get out the camera, sometimes I use the telephoto to stay out of the way.
DeleteWhat a fun post! Those bright flowers in the winter street scene were stunning! No wonder they lead to theatrics :)
ReplyDeleteYou know my girls! Thanks.
DeleteI like the apartment buildings, so severe. Looks like a fun family day. Amber, yes Jenny will camp 'comfortably'. She will sleep in a tent but there needs to be an air mattress, the weather should be fair and I have to promise not to get too rustic. She is a great sport about it, I just need to be reminded that I am camping with 4 females not boy scouts. A Black Hills trip would be lots of fun, so would the north shore.
